It was in a little church house
On a country road one night
I venture by and peeked inside

I thought I heard somebody pray

My heart was heavy laden

And tears flown' from my eyes
I said I wish someone that prays
Would call my name tonight


Won't somebody call my name in prayer tonight
I confess I'm too weak and the Lord knows I'm not right

Oh, I'd like to go to heaven but I'm ashamed of my life
won't somebody call my name tonight


[Instrumental]

Once my life was torn and shattered

I could not find my way
My only hope was just to die
For myself I could not pray


I was watching the world in sorrow
Never knew to save my life

But this desperate moment
Somebody called my name that night


Won't somebody call my name in prayer tonight
I confess I'm too weak and the Lord knows I'm not right
Oh, I'd like to go to heaven but I'm ashamed of my life

won't somebody call my name tonight

Now I'm on my way to heaven

And everything is alright
I'm so glad somebody called my name that night
